There was a time a lot of bands like this were awfully popular Back in
the 70's we moved a lot of this product. Eventually most of these bands
ran out of ideas, or worse got too many fancy ideas. I admit to going to
see Tony Williams LIfetime, the version with Allan Holdsworth. But,
Williams was an amazing drummer. That was a real eye opener. Last year
we saw Jack DeJohnette and Bill Fizell here in town. Same thing, amazing
drummer. He did some sneaky show off things, like doing a complex roll
with one hand. More than a few of the local jazz community got up and
left, because he was not playing "classic jazz". Lame...
I think you are better off listening to Miles Davis Jack Johnson or
something like that. But don't let me stop you from going if you think
it's important. Just let us know.
